So sorry - haven't been on here much. I feel GREAT! Not fighting my head hunger daily, although it does hit at times when we are out. 20.4 lbs down since surgery and another 10 before.

I had my surgery April 6th at Princeton/Plainsboro hospital. My head hungers are driving me crazy.

I have only lost 7lbs and am frustrated because I thought I would drop weight quickly.

I had my surgery on April 5 and at my last apt I was minus 16 lbs which I am happy with. The only issues I have are fatigue and a pain/soreness in my chest. Has anyone else had this? Is it normal? Of course my mind goes to the all the worst places and I make myself nervous.

HI Jill,

Congratulations. Did You go in Surgery at around 10. I was there the same day and Dr. Ewing came to see me and my hubby and after signing papers and talking for a bit he said i had someone before me. I went in at around 12 and unfortunately i couldnt get the sleeve done because my band had slipped. So i go on May 24th. I'm doing fine It sounds like you are on track. All what you are feeling are normal it will get better WOW 16 lbs great job..

Ha! What a small world we live in!! Yes I did go in around 10 and have zero memory of anything except waking up in recovery. I'm sorry to hear you couldn't get your procedure done. I just wanted to make sure what I am feeling is normal and will go away in a couple weeks. I am glad I found this site.

This was the first surgery I ever had in my life which is probably why I am so unsure about everything I am feeling.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
